Screen Arts 20/8

I love bobby Duke, he is a funny creator that currently is focusing on carving/sculpture using wood, stones and random objects he is sent. His humble yet outgoing personality are what keep me coming back to see what new project he has created. He seems to be a jack-of-all trades with his skills!

Gaming 22/8

Assets for my game, with a couple of options for the cat tower platforms.

Making Sprites

Allow for buffer zones, and make sure you know the tile size to chop it up.

Next, for a tilemap game build, add a tilemap to the hierarchy, and create a palette. Then drag ur cut sprites onto the palette for easy-mode building.

Now to make a quick 2d platformer, add these components to sprite and map.

2D Animation 21/8

Simple 2D rigging with nodes shown.



Way more complicated, this rig has 360 views included.

When a node is selected, hit o to center on the right layer in the timeline instead of having to search for it.

Homework is going thru my shots and getting the backgrounds in, and camera animations transferred over to the new layers.

2D animation 31/7

Spent the class being distracted by noisy classmates and didnt really achieve anything. Really not great timing considering the lack of time left til the pitch bible is due.

2D Animation 19/8

Use the premiere pro export as a base layer to place the finished animations over top.

Alternate views.

Left is camera view, middle is node view, bottom right is perspective view. ctrl + alt to rotate the camera in the perspective panel. Use the top view, select the layer and then move it forward or backward depending on whether its a foreground or background layer. Perspective view is what you use to see the layers are they are currently sitting in a visual format. When grouping in node view, use ctrl + shift + g to create a clean, single line group as shift + g keeps all the individual node lines. Copy the group to the library to import the background into your project.

Research 19/8

Organisation and planning. Top is Trello, with final dates and current tasks broken down, bottom is a venngage chart work in progress as a visual representation of the Trello board.
